Professional Interests:
Research in Dr. Fanger's laboratory has focused on studies of the role that innate immunity plays in inducing adaptive immunity in the human female reproductive tract and on the mechanisms by which antigen presentation is mediated by human Dendritic Cells (DCs). As DCs play a major role in the initiation of immunity through processing and presentation of antigen, fusion proteins that target antigens to molecules expressed primarily on antigen presenting cells are being investigated as vaccines for immunotherapy of cancer.
